> Thanks Medley. The Peckham Rye to Clapham High st train comes twice an hour so am screwed if I miss it! > Peckham Rye to Clapham J will be better so might have to just hold on until then. Bear in mind that if you miss the 20/50 to Clapham High St, you can still get to Clapham Junction from Peckham Rye in 30 min via Sreatham Common, at 27/57.

> He was unsuspecting, he came in for a shampoo and blow dry... Any contributions expected from cosmetic surgeons?

> Squatters don't steal a gome they illegally 'occupy' it...there's a clear legal difference. It can come conceptually very close. Take the example we talked about here year or two ago, that of a large house bought by developers for conversion into flats, but then squatted. The squatters gained free accomodation. The developers, for each additional dead week in which they could do no work on it, suffered losses in the shape of any interest payments, other lost opportunities for investment, and absence of any rental or sales income. The squatters' gain was effectively the developers' irrecoverable, and most probably disproportionately greater, loss.

> I don't know when this particular project will end (it's been 3 consecutive weekends now) Southern's updated journeycheck page, which currently covers up to 29th July, reports for Sundays 17th and 24th: "Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 17/07/11 between London Bridge and Streatham Common. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between London Bridge and Streatham Common via Streatham Hill between Streatham Common and London Bridge via Streatham Hill" Enquiries on the National Rail Journey Planner do show replacement buses from ED again on those two days. :(

Stuck in front of your computer all day, slipping into dementia while waiting for a thread to move to post number 72? Just about compos mentis enough to realise the foolishness of it all, but still vacuously obsessed. Well, Good News at last. State-of-the-art software can do all this for you. Our "Chronic Patient" program will continually monitor a whole message board, immediately detect arrival of any post that matches any of the multiple trigger conditions you want to specify, and THEN instantly respond by submitting a post in your own name, just as if you had posted it yourself. Even your best friend won't know the difference. This program is fully customisable, and can be yours for only ?200. Can you really afford to ignore this opportunity? Advance orders are now being taken, but be quick. Only a finite number of copies of this software will be available, and we may cease supply at any time.

As last week, no train services from ED this weekend. Additionally, no Victoria London Bridge service on Sunday. According to http://www.journeycheck.com/southern: -- Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 09/07/11 between London Bridge and Beckenham Junction. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between London Bridge and Streatham Common via Tulse Hill between Streatham Common and London Bridge via Tulse Hill between Crystal Palace and Beckenham Junction Beckenham Junction and Crystal Palace ---- Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 10/07/11 between London Bridge and East Croydon. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between London Bridge and Streatham ----- Track improvements and maintenance are taking place on 10/07/11 between London Bridge and London Victoria. Whilst work is taking place, buses will replace trains between London Bridge and London Victoria via Peckham Rye ----- The timetabled replacement bus times shown on the National Rail Journey Planner for the ED trains (I checked for 10:00-12:00 each day) are: Saturday 9 July ED to London Bridge: 19 and 49 minutes past the hour ED to Tulse Hill: 10 and 40 minutes past the hour Sunday 10 July ED to London Bridge: 10, 27, 40 and 57 minutes past the hour ED to Tulse Hill: 05 and 35 minutes past the hour Peckham Rye departures - as above, with 7 minutes difference Stated journey time, ED to London Bridge - 25 min.

It's the bleeding pathetic fallacies that rattle me. :(

Lady M, I think this login Message of The Day fortune cookie is just for you. Treasure it. "Your lucky number is 3552664958674928. Watch for it everywhere."

It was happening outside the station.

> Oh, and the domain name "sunonsunday" was registered two days ago. Ahem. That's the .co.uk one, registered to 'mediaspring', who claims to be a non-trading individual. The .com one was actually assigned some years ago. I'm pretty sure Nominet's rules allow for the challenge of any registered .co.uk domain name which clearly appertains to a going concern rather than to the registrant. So any price offered for it probably boils down to a question of how time-critical it is.

I've just passed by. Three officers were holding a dog pinned down on the pavement.

Nowhere. See also http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,642366,642366 re latest collection times.

M$ software licences are I believe, in EU law, transferrable between machines. How practicable that is probably depends on your ability to access and use the source and installation files. The availability of these would be, for me at least, an absolutely necessary condition before I bought any packaged system with pre-installed software. (I've so far survived without ever doing so.)

AlexK> If PUBLISH THEIR SALARIES is a plank in your platform when you DO stand for election as a hospital / trust governor I shall surely vote for you. Be ready to face litigation (DPA or FoI) if you take that route as a governor. If you want to challenge policy or practice, the safer route, short of rewriting the acts, would imo be to make FoI requests for such information and appeal against any refusals. And I've not checked, but I'd be surprised if there weren't already a fair number of substantive decisions on the topic already, at least at ICO or tribunal level: "Example: The Commissioner found that the exact salaries of specialist registrars employed by University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust should not be disclosed. He found that as ?employees who interact with the public? they ?should expect some personal data about them to be released? but that they should expect less scrutiny than senior executives who are ?responsible for policy decisions affecting the public and the expenditure of public funds?. (ICO decision notice FS50092819, February 2007)" [from http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/freedom_of_information/practical_application/salaries_v1.pdf]

A question ... What do you mean by 'dying'?

chick> Anyone remember the Peanut sandwich board man in Oxford St?? Protein leads to passion?? "Less protein for less passion," I think, if it's the same one. I sometimes used to ride past him on his bike, heading west on the A40 toward the Shepherds Bush roundabout, some evenings in 1976 or 77. He still had his board on display, I think perhaps still on his back. What's the peanut connection, btw? I thought they were packed with protein.

Having looked at a similar thread from earlier this year ( http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,612201,657073 ) and checked dates where available, I'm not sure that day of the week is a good predictor.

In his Penguin Indian Cookery (1970), Dharamjit Singh does include red and green chilli peppers, fresh and dried, in his roundup of spices. And they do occur, pretty selectively, in individual recipes.

Here's one from my window.
